Citizenship and GC expiring

[desicowboy]

My parents are scheduled for the Citizeship interview in September. Their GC expire in mid November. How long does it take to renew the GCs in California?

I am wondering, whether I should apply for renewal? I am not aware of the pros/cons or risks involved in not applying. Please share your opinion

If they get their oath real soon, they save the GC renewal fee. If their oath is delayed and they need to travel, they need to shell out the fees.

This is what the guide to naturalization has to say about this:

24. If my Permanent Resident Card expires while I am applying for
naturalization, do I still need to apply for a new card?

If you apply for naturalization 6 months or more before the expiration date on your
Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as an Alien Registration Card or “Green
Card”), you do not have to apply for a new card. However, you may apply for a renewal
card if you wish by using an “Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card” (Form I-
90) and paying the appropriate fee. Call the USCIS Forms Line or visit www.uscis.gov.

If you apply for naturalization less than 6 months before the expiration date on your
Permanent Resident Card, or don’t apply for naturalization until your card has already
expired, you must renew your card.
